If it did get dirty I would have to try it. As it is though, not interested, and slightly put off.

Where is the joke implying that OP likes the shoes?

Wondering which of the two extremes I belong to. I guess the first, since I'm not sure.

I guess it's implied that somebody else is making a profit out of the pregnancy, since the mother is brain dead. So if it was a normal thing to do you could imagine clinics perhaps, buying brain dead women and then offering surrogate pregnancies. Or maybe I got it wrong?

Not the person you replied to, I agree with your interpretation but then I'm confused with the post title. "Fucking Vegans"?... Um...?

Because it's easier to rip or reproduce video for a lot of people, but cracking a program, even a basic one, requires some knowledge and skill. So that raises up the bar and by a lot

Ugh yes these artists, so mean, so evil, greedy and disgusting, they don't deserve being paid not even a tenth of the minimum wage. 60 bucks isn't enough to cover that 12 hr job you say? Where do you live???

Pirate zbrush and try Nomad. I don't have a tablet so I never gave it a go.

As for Zbrush, Maxon has done absolutely nothing of value to it since its acquisition. I purchased the perpetual license when it was still Pixologic and that's what I keep using. I hear from industry professionals that I don't miss out on absolutely anything new at all.

Is Firefox still the recommended browser of choice here? (mander.xyz)
 

Asking after the privacy debacle and manifest. I'm not keeping up closely, but iirc Firefox is the browser recommended because of Ublock. After the privacy data issue I've noticed broken trust from Firefox users, recommendations in favor of switching browsers, and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won't be maintained for much longer.

So I'm here asking the seasoned sailors' thoughts, aye. Is this just a storm passing by or are you really considering jumping ship?

Port Forwarding - Should I? and which VPN? (mander.xyz)

Ahoy! I know this has been asked a lot already, I've been following up and doing some research online but I'm still confused. Sorry.

1-I'm not exactly tech savvy. (Ok. I'm thick as a brick) 2-I'm a very casual BitTorrent user. I'll go months without torrenting.

3-I do stream more frequently.

4-I travel often, meaning I don't often have admin access to the networks I connect to

I currently have Nord. I heard it's no longer as trusted as it used to, and since my subscription is ending I'm wondering if I should jump ship.

I read I should be using Port Forwarding, and I get the concept of it somewhat but I'm still not sure if I need it (considering my casual torrent use, so far... I've been ok?), and also, I have no idea how to set that up. (would #4 be a problem?).

Now, VPN: Mullvad, AirVPN, and Proton seem to be the most reliable ones. Is that right?

Air has good pricing atm, and port forwarding. I heard it's not too user friendly though? (#1)

Mullvad seems to have a solid rep. but no port forwarding (It used to? Their website doesn't say much unless I create an account?)

Proton: has PF, seems good too

Or should I just stick with Nord?

TLDR which VPN should I go for considering 1,2,3,4, and should I consider port forwarding in my decision?

Thanks
